Hurricane Laura

 This is Hurricane Laura. 

This is a meta-disaster.

This is a side effect of climate change. 

The idiocy of conservatives would have you believe the earth would even out and solve this on its own.

What utter bullshit. This storm went from a measly tropical storm to a category 4 tropical cyclone in a matter of hours. 

I feel for the people in the areas affected. A 20 foot storm surge. Whole towns under water. Fetid stinking water full of garbage and alligators and snakes and who knows what else. 

This will keep happening. The world is changing. This happened before in the Paleocene. Only this time it's not natural. It's because of we human apes destroy what we touch. No species deserves extinction but we do. Very much. Mount Toba didn't do it. Nor did the black plague, not even coronavirus. What will end us would be truly epic. 

But this post is about a terrible disaster affecting the area that needs it the least. I hope people heeded the warnings and evacuated. If not. God help them.
